Servicio Continuo, chic cocktails till the end of the night

Before, after or for dinner… In Barcelona, any excuse will do to end up in this muted tapas bar, where cocktails flirt with good taste.

Even in Barcelona, famous for welcoming the most incorrigible party goers, it is not that easy to find a good spot where your table companions won't mistake you for their best friend after 2 a.m. So, if you want to snack on delicate tapas while toasting to the wonders of Catalan life, head for Servicio Continuo, which as the name suggests delivers cocktails and a snacking menu non-stop until 3 a.m., with a smile. If the decoration draws its inspiration from the 1930s with velvet, round lampshades and brass everywhere, the teal-coloured walls display a modern touch that will soften the night. Start slow with vodka-marinated salmon tapas and yuzu cream, then some dim sum, and carry on with delicious green curry mussels, octopus flambé in sake, or a mini fish & chips that will win over even those who watch their waistline.
